Buenos Aires, Argentina. November 2009

Organizing Committee

                                                                                                 

First of all we want to congratulate you for taking forward a festival like this. We have accompanied the organization of the First Kezmer Music International Festival in Buenos Aires and we know the effort that represents an event of this type. We write you this e-mail because we are planning to go to europe next year. We want to take our music to the "old continent", Klezmer music was brought to Argentina over a century ago by the inmigrants. We are a four members band: Uriel Fernandez (clarinet), Juan Canosa (tuba and trombone), Gabriel Mattera (derbake and tambura) and Gabriel Abramovici (accordion and piano).
 
Since 2005 we explored the Klezmer, with the peculiarities that may mean recreate this style in South America. During these five years, we have not stopped performing live, because the communication with the public is what fuels the energy and spontaneity of our music.
 
We traveled several times to the interior of Argentina and neighbour countries of Uruguay and Chile. In Chile we participated in the Accordion Festival (2008). We played in the First and Second International Klezmer Music Festival of in Argentina (2008 and 2009), sharing the stage with international groups such as Ot Azoy, Hakeshet, Yid Vicious, Christian David, Mames Babegenush, Klezmerduo and Pressburger Klezmer Band. We have also performed live at the historic IFT theatre, with the highest expression of Klezmer in South America,  Lerner & Moguilevsky duo.
 
We want you to know a little bit more about us, http://www.smklezmer.com.ar/, in our website you can check out our cd (Libertanz), and videos of live performances.
 
We will be traveling to Europe around June-July-August 2010 to participa
